Sirius XM, Hauppauge Digital: Early Volume Plays

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Sirius XM (SIRI) was one of several stocks trading below $5 poised to move on above-average volume Monday after the satellite radio provider upped its 2010 guidance.

Sirius XM said it now expects to see net subscriber additions total 750,000 in 2010, up from its previous forecast of 500,000. Sirius XM also raised its 2010 target for pro-forma adjusted income from operations to $575 million, up from its prior view of $550 million. Sirius XM also anticipates full-year pro-forma revenue of about $2.75 billion and free cash flow of more than $100 million.

"Our continuing strong operating performance, the recovering economy, and improving auto sales support our increase in guidance today," Sirius XM CEO Mel Karmazin said in a statement.

Sirius XM shares were up 6 cents, or 5.6%, to $1.13 in Monday's premarket session. The 50-day average daily volume for Sirius XM is 145.73 million, according to the Nasdaq.
